i'd think if you were buying them you'd also be buying heads, and matching valve covers, not using stock pieces. WAG i'd say no

jensel makes shaft mounted rockers and without looking i'd supect they make one for a SBC, but when i said after market heads and valve covers i was thinking more like brodix. an AFR head is more or less a stock head.

You'll have to remove any support/bracing for the center bolts, I havent seen the vette valvecovers inside but that might compromise them just doing that. The adjusters likely wont clear the covers at max lift either, but thats just a guess based on the pic.
